mistake and serious injury could result.
Different needles and threads are used for different
sewing applications.
Refer to the table at right for details on which needle
and thread to select.
7-2. Installing the needle
Loosen the set screw q, insert the needle w as far as
it will go so that the groove is facing toward you (for
the KE-431B, the groove is on the left side), and then
tighten the set screw q.
7-3. Threading the upper thread
Thread the upper thread correctly as shown in the illustration below.
* If the tension release lever q is raised in the direction of the arrow, it will be easier to open the tension disc
w and pull the thread through.
